Reporters Without Borders Says Israel "Targeted" Journalists in Attack That Killed Issam Abdallah
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At least 31 journalists have been killed since October 7 across the
region: 26 Palestinian, four Israeli and one Lebanese. Among the
casualties is Reuters visual journalist Issam Abdallah, who was killed
in southern Lebanon on October 13. A preliminary investigation by
Reporters Without Borders found Abdallah, and the group of journalists
he was with, were "targeted" by Israeli forces. RSF said, "Two strikes
in the same place in such a short space of time (just over 30 seconds),
from the same direction, clearly indicate precise targeting." Click here
